What educators are saying

Another great product from Laura! I love how you can incorporate this to a bigger unit but it works great as a stand-alone lesson.

Rated 5 out of 5

A great addition to a rhetorical appeals unit. I used it as a sub-plan assignment and the kids were engaged and had great answers.

Description

Use Oprah Winfrey’s headline-grabbing speech from the 2018 Golden Globes to show your students the power of a well-constructed presentation. In this one class period activity, students will discuss the #metoo movement, view Oprah Winfrey’s 10-minute speech, and deconstruct/discuss her use of rhetorical devices. Questions focus on audience, metaphor, parallelism, pathos, and symbolism. These materials can serve as a stand-alone lesson or as a solid supplement to a study of Jim Crow laws or SAT-style essay prep.
